wjarasmuch is correct. sorry for not telling you afterwards, matt. it was right before i was about to leave, and i told him if he wanted to do that, i would make the deal. the trade is legit. Wallace for Carter.

so we're doing the draft on the message boards?

I won't say I told ya so...

So, it it too late for the trade to go through? If it is, it's not a big deal...but if not I'd still like do do it, and I'd keep Carter instead of Miller.

Yes, we're doing the draft on the Message Boards because it's the only way to do it with all of the trading draft picks & the keeper league.

Sorry about that guys, but I'm going to say it is too late for this one. Mainly because of the absolute opposite messages I got from you before the deadline. Wesley, if you want to get Carter, you can offer him draft picks or keepers now. (He might be able to get Rasheed in the 1st round of the draft, fyi...)

Also coming into play here is the fact that I'm quite positive this trade would get vetoed by the other owners, if there was a way to veto it. I know I would... Mavsfan, IMHO, I believe you'd be getting totally ripped off, unless Wesley threw in a draft pick as well or something...

Just know that if you trade a keeper away and go below 8 keepers, you will not be able to choose someone from your former roster to keep, instead you'll get an extra pick at the very end of the draft.

yeah, i didn't know he wasn't keeping Wallace.....

i knew it wasn't going to be an equal move, but i wanted to get a quality big man before the season started and didn't want to give up Josh Howard, mainly because he's good and he's younger.

There should be quality big men when you draft... if you want to guarantee, I'd suggest trading for a higher draft pick... maybe offer a 3rd and 4th round pick to someone for their 1st or something... I definitely can't give you any guarantees, but these are some of the big men I'd expect to be available in the first 4 draft rounds: LaMarcus Aldridge, Andris Biedrins, Darko Milicic, Nene Hilario, Rasheed Wallace, Al Horford, Nenad Krstic, Zydrunas Ilgauskas, Andrea Bargnani, Charlie Villanueva, Chris Wilcox, Brad Miller, & Hakim Warrick. Depending on how the expansion draft ends up, Sam Dalembert, Ben Wallace, Mehmet Okur, Emeka Okafor, Greg Oden, or Tyson Chandler could also be available.
